Emperor Qingming went to Cining Palace with a calm face.

The Queen Mother was already having dinner, and there were four meats, four vegetables and one soup on the table.

She is strict and frugal, and never extravagant and wasteful in her daily use. The layout of this palace, she has always complained that it is too luxurious.

Emperor Qingming bowed his hand to say goodbye.

The Queen Mother greeted him with a smile, "Now that you have come, sit down and dine with the mourners."

Emperor Qingming sat opposite her, and the palace people put the dishes and chopsticks, but he didn't move the chopsticks.

Seeing this, the queen mother sighed, her son was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he was not even close to her, the queen mother.

This royal family is really indifferent.

"Although Lao Qi is not in the palace, he can still come to accompany the mourning family to dine from time to time, but you can't accompany the mourning family once a year."

Emperor Qingming frowned and said, "Just because he often eats with his mother, the queen mother responded to his request and made two decrees on marriage."

The Queen Mother put down her chopsticks and her expression faded.

"Their uncle and nephew are not young, and it's time to settle a family matter. They are all married, so that there will not be such things as today."

Emperor Qingming said in a deep voice, "Even if you want to marry, one of them is the emperor's uncle and the other is the crown prince, such a big matter, how can the queen mother discuss it with me in advance." What happened today, the queen mother still doesn't know what to do with me, and she should be cautious in her words and deeds, so as not to spoil my plan. How could the seventh brother say a few words, and the queen mother let him lead the nose away?"

The Queen Mother's face was pale, "The mourning family is their mother and grandmother, why can't they set a family affair for them? Danyang is dignified and virtuous, and the mourning family has always decided that she will be the crown princess, which you also know, and you have never objected. As for Lao Qi, he and Zhaoping became relatives, which can not only break the prince's mind, but also put an end to today's affairs. Is it because of what Lao Qi said!"

Emperor Qingming clearly knew what moved his mother and made her act so rashly.

He said coldly, "The queen mother still remembers the auspicious fortune that fell from the sky when King Jin was born, she still remembers the prophecy of the Taoist priest at the gate of the Dingguo Mansion, and she still remembers the 200,000 army in the hands of the Dingguo Duke and the tens of millions of family assets in the hands of Han Youning. Are you planning to change your son to be the emperor?"

The Queen Mother doesn't understand, if it is peaceful today, he has held the imperial power firmly in his hands for more than ten years, as stable as Mount Tai, how can he still worry about being taken away.

In his heart, everyone is a rebel, and everyone will covet his throne, right?

She said, "The auspicious clouds that day were just a few colorful clouds, far-fetched. But don't you not believe the prophecy?"

"The queen mother was not at the scene, so naturally I didn't know the grand shock of the auspiciousness. As for the phoenix's life, it is better to believe it than to believe that it is not."

The queen mother glanced at the box in the hand of the little eunuch behind him, presumably containing the decree of marriage to the prince and Danyang, which was rejected.

And so he said it, so ......

She frowned, "So, you didn't respond to Lao Qi and Zhaoping's marriage decree?"

Emperor Qingming didn't answer directly, but said lightly, "Even if the prince doesn't marry, she can't marry someone else."

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Qingming suspiciously, "She is the concubine of the Duke of Dingguo, there is no reason not to marry for the rest of her life, and the Duke of Dingguo will not agree."

Emperor Qingming lowered his eyes, "The queen mother doesn't have to worry about it."

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, "You won't be ......."

She looked at her son's Shen Ying gaze and swallowed the next words.

Emperor Qingming stood up, took the box from the eunuch behind him, and put it on the table, "In the future, if the queen mother wants to make any decree, it is better to discuss it with her son, so as not to embarrass her son." My son has retired."

Emperor Qingming turned and left.

The Queen Mother leaned back in her chair, looked at her son's tall and heavy back, and muttered, "The mourning family is the most powerless queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The palace maid opened the box, and inside was a rich and golden edict.

The palace maid asked, "Niangniang, can you put this decree away?"

The Queen Mother took out a scroll of edicts and slowly unfolded them.

The old seven is also

It's a miscalculation, the emperor is strong, and it is difficult to turn around the things that he has identified, where will he be married because of what filial piety.

She suddenly looked at her, sat up straight and looked at the edict in her hand.

--

Han Youning sat on the low couch and looked out the window worriedly.

It was already dark, and lanterns were lit up in the courtyard.

Zhao Chengyuan entered the palace after a fight with his father, and he didn't know how he was going to deal with the emperor.

Listening to the meaning of the eldest brother, it seems that he is not very optimistic, and Zhao Chengyuan seems to be counting on his father to go to the edict to save him.

My father has already geared up, and vowed not to owe Zhao Chengyuan a favor for this, and he will definitely return it with interest.

If Zhao Chengyuan really went to prison, how could it be easy to be rescued. The princes who went to the edict were either dead or were imprisoned for more than ten years, and none of them came out alive.

It's been so long and there's no news, so you won't really be locked up, right?

How much face can my father have in the emperor? My father was also imprisoned and beheaded by the emperor!

Han Youning turned around abruptly and got off the bed, "Ling'er, take the jade incense pill and go out!"

Ling'er came in from outside and said in surprise, "It's going to be dark soon, where are you going, Miss?"

"Go to the Chung Kok Mansion!"

As Han Youning spoke, he had already put on his cloak.

Ling'er hurriedly went to the cage to get the jade incense pill, and said, "The lord of Nanzhang is not in a hurry to use this, and it will be the same for the slave maid to send it tomorrow."

Han Youning didn't explain to her, took the hand stove filled with charcoal handed over by Qiu Ye, and hurriedly walked out.

As soon as I got out of the Hanging Flower Gate, I saw a eunuch from the palace coming from the side of the council hall, and it seemed that he had just arrived, talking to his father.

Han Youning's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly ran over with his skirt.

Wu Jian glanced at the little girl who was in a hurry, and said to Han Jun with a smile, "Or just say that there is fate, the miscellaneous family hasn't asked you to send someone to invite, and the county lord of Zhaoping will come by himself."

Han Jun didn't have the heart to greet him about this, he asked directly, "I heard that King Jin has entered the palace, how is he now?"

Wu Jian smiled and said, "King Jin is fine, he must have returned to his house now."

Han Jun was a little surprised, there was nothing at all, and he didn't need to save him?

So how can he return the favor?

"King Jin seriously injured the crown prince, isn't the emperor angry?"

Wu Jian said with a smile, "Although King Jin acted a little extremely, it is also excusable. The emperor also came from a young age, where would he blame him?"

Han Jun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, why did he listen to this, it wasn't quite right?

He asked, "What is the matter with Mr. Wu?"

Wu Jian raised the tray in his hand and said with a smile, "The prince is infatuated with the county lord of Zhaoping, and the queen mother and the emperor want to fulfill this infatuation and marry the prince and the county lord. Congratulations to Dingguo Gong, congratulations to the county lord."

"What?!"
